Fans of the Shinto Saw rasp (I am among them) will also LOVE the Nicholson #49 and #50 Pattern Maker's rasps.  I saw a similar rasp on the Lie-Nielsen website but I've not used them. In any case, they are pricey, I bought mine about 30 years ago (holy mackerel) and they were about 70 or 80 bucks then.  Still going strong!

eta: I just checked the prices and thye are about 50-60 bucks. They say they are machine made. I thought they were hand made, maybe they used to be and that would explain the price reduction.  Whatever, I love mine.

Here are some pics of my stave ready for floor tillering. I'm going with Keenan's sage advice and keeping it a little wider and flatter than I had intended due to the uneven growth rings.

Thanks Josh. I'll give it my best shot and if it makes a bow then that's what it was meant to be and if it doesn't then I guess that branch just wasn't destined to shoot arrows. I have a set of billets from the same tree that are much cleaner and will be from the tops of the branches so if this doesn't work then i can use those. I've just never spliced billets before so I was trying to stick with something more familiar. All this wood is from that craigslist add for $15 that you tipped me off on.  8)
